Suspect Wanted For Burglary

New Orleans Police are asking the public's assistance with locating two suspects wanted for vehicle burglary, access device fraud, and hit & run driving.

Wanted are:

Demella Walker (pictured left) Black female, DOB 12/22/2004

Derneca Walker (pictured right), Black female, DOB 09/02/2002

All persons are considered innocent unless convicted in a court of law. 

According to investigators, on April 28, 2025 Demella Walker and Derneca Walker were involved in a minor traffic accident at the intersection of Palmyra and South White Streets. 

The wanted suspects demanded the victim give them money as compensation for the accident. The victim refused and instead opted to wait for law enforcement to document the accident. The suspects opened the victim’s car door and stole property before fleeing the scene in their vehicle. A warrant for their arrests is on file. 

Anyone with information regarding the incident or the locations of the wanted suspects is asked to call First District detectives at 504-658-6010 or to anonymously call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
